Mr.. j. +. Neal, who has suffered
with cancer on his face for three
or four years, died at the house of
his half brother, Mr.. 8. B. Hay
good, about three miles south of
Colfax, on Tuesday, Dec. Is, 1887.
His death was caused from the can
Ger eating into the arteries of the
face and neck, producing violent
hemorrhsge, and the loss of blood
completely exhausted his system.
A few months ago he joined the
Methodist church, having preyi-
ously professed religion, and when
told by the doctor that he could
not live very long he calmly and
confidently expressed his readiness
and willingness to die. His re-
mains were taken to Rapides par
ish for burial.

city and State will have fair chance
to earn their daily bread. No ring
monopoly, nor State tricksters, will
put the State labor, the Iepee building
system, in the hands of men who are
the enemies Of honest toll, honest gov
eminent and the rights of man.
Eighth-H Gen. Nichols is elected,
no chartered Legislators purchased a
year in advance to vote for laws made
to order to sink the State and elevate
the few, at the expense of the tax
payer and the laborer.
Now gigantic I'D. is it not a
fact that the ghost of former favor
blinds your imagination to such an
extent that you can find no COM
fort, no hope for the future of the
Ring, and therefore cheat yourself
with the visionary pleasure of de-
nouncing the principles and mo-
tives of the friends Of liberty, the
friends of law, the friends of labor,
of universal justice? Now, worthy
I'D, if you can say this much for
Samuel d. McEnery & Co., and at
the same time blot off the public
mind the recollection of his past
administration and its abuses, then
you may come before the people
and proclaim the reformers "bolt-
ers," but you must come with clean
hands and with clean cause, and
you must also blot out from the
record the McEnery men, the ring
men, made a few weeks ago on the
meeting of the State central COM
mittee. No doubt the I'D. thinks
their action was in accordance with
Democratic principles or in ac-
cordance with the code of ring
doctrine. No doubt the depriving
of st. Landry of the right to vote
in the Congressional nominating
convention was strictly according
to ring methods and being SO was
right. Nichols will be governor,
with the help of Providence, and
the good people will see him seated
in the gubernatorial chair, whatever
the cost, in case he be elected.

MAJORITY RULES.

Charles NJ. Hays, editor of the
Idaho Avalanche, while personally
believing that Idaho would be ben
Gifted by consenting to annexation
to Nevada, manfully bows to the
will of the majority and says:
It matters not whether Nevada is in
debt or not, the only question is, would
the people IF Idaho be benefited under a
state government. We believe they would
in many ways, but we also believe that
the wishes Of q majority of our popu'a
tion should he consulted, and that their
wishes should take precedence over all
others. The people have had time to
consider the question of annexation TO
Nevada, and 1t seems to US that very
large majority are against the PROPOSE
tion. We are therefore opposed to the
scheme, and with the rest of the people
Ut Idaho will rest content and live 10 ex-
pectancy of that glorious time, probably
% or 30 years hence, when Idaho shall
drop her swaddling clothes and humbly
ask admission into the Union.

Why They Failed.

The business house of NJ. II.
Lipman 4 Co.. of Salt Lake City,
made an assignment last week.
The head of the house gives the fol-
lowing as reasons for the failure:
The cause Of misfortune was poor col
!ectious, the Unprecedented fine weather
and HE HALEY venture. As to the HALEY
venture, Lipma6 & Go. opened . branch
there last July, and as a big boom an
pcared imminent, they laid in $l2 900
worth of goods. But, rs luck would have
il, when the firm WAS nicely prepared to
do big business. the boom dwindled to
a boomlet, and then died for want OF
breath. The branch has proved an incu-
bus ever since in consequences.
That all reads very nice. The
fact is that the firm crowded in at
Haley when the town was fully
supplied with stores in its line of
business, and there was no room
forone more. Even the cheap John
advertising and sending out drum
mers who sought to sell a pair Of
suspenders with the same avidity
that genuine trade representatives
would display in selling big bill
to a wholesale house, failed to carry
the firm through and failure fol-
lowed. AS usual in such cases
when the preferred people" make
a business failure the list of credi-
itors is remarkable only for the
numbers of relatives to the embar-
raised parties that have claim on
the assets
